Synopsis

Entertaining and empowering, What Men Really Want is the next best thing to a private appointment with the nation's premier matchmaker.

The hardest part about dating is understanding the mysterious inner workings of a man's brain. How can women know what men are really looking for if men don't tell them?

They can ask Janis.

With over twenty years of experience as a professional matchmaker, Janis Spindel has a unique insider's perspective on contemporary dating culture. Her male clients tell her exactly what they want in a relationship, and here Janis offers women a step-by-step plan for winning a man's heart, such as:

• It's okay to ask a guy for his number, as long as you do it with confidence.
• Don't wear your work clothes on a date, ever! Freshen up before meeting a guy.
• Pay him a compliment! He's human. He'll love it.

Reviews

Even if you can afford to hire dating coach Spindel (a talk-show fixture, she doesn't come cheap), this fun-to-read guide provides an economical short-cut to finding, courting and keeping a man. With a light touch, Spindel comes across chatty and sympathetic as a good girlfriend, but with the authority of a wise aunt. Debunking dating myths one by one (yes, you should order dessert with dinner), Spindel mercifully dismisses most dating "games" out of hand: Fashionably late? That's just plain "rude." Text-messaging on a date? The "best place for your cell phone is in your bag." Breezy chapters cover, step-by-step, everything from the first flirtation to planning a future together, breaking down what's going on in his head and hers. Including chapters on romantic getaways and meeting his friends, Spindel graces each stage with ways to "Let Him Down Easy." Easy ways to maintain space and sanity-for both of you-include keeping shopping trips solo, talking problems through calmly and completely, and prepping the folks before they meet your new beau ("Tell your parents not to talk about marriage"). Spindel's common sense approach makes it clear that finding love isn't a matter of hard-and-fast "rules," but a levelheaded mix of knowledge, awareness, observation and preparation.
